Theresa May admits she irritated by leadership debate

    Theresa May has admitted she gets irritated over the ongoing debate regarding her leadership of the Conservative Party, as she lashed out at Boris Johnson’s completely inappropriate suicide vest remarks. The intervention from the prime minister comes after it was reported dozens of Tory MPs openly discussed how to topple Ms May, with some present at a meeting in Westminster suggesting she is a disaster and this can’t go on. Ms May’s leadership of the Tories has been increasingly precarious since the resignation of Boris Johnson from cabinet over her Chequers blueprint for Brexit, but it has been fragile ever since the 2017 snap election at which she gambled away the party’s majority. In an interview to mark the six-month countdown until Britain officially leaves th...

Sadiq Khan calls for second Brexit vote

    London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a second EU referendum, criticising the government's handling of Brexit negotiations with the EU. Writing in the Observer, the Labour politician said that with the UK due to leave the EU in six months, it now faced either a bad deal or no deal. The debate had also become more about Boris Johnson's political ambitions than what was good for the UK, he said. Tory minister Michael Gove said Mr Khan wanted to frustrate the will of voters. The mayor's comments are also at odds with the Labour's official policy, which is to respect the outcome of the referendum but leave all options on the table if a deal is not agreed by Parliament. Former Tooting MP Mr Khan said that although he campaigned to remain in the EU, he had accepted th...

British MP Jo Swinson were taking her baby into Commons felt natural

    British MP who became the first to take her baby into a Commons debate has said she hopes it will signal a step forward in modernising parliament. Liberal Democrat deputy leader Jo Swinson appeared in the chamber with Gabriel on Thursday during a discussion about proxy voting. Speaking to BBC Scotland on Friday morning, she said it had felt like the natural thing to do. Ms Swinson gave birth to Gabriel, her second child, on 29 June. She did not have her 11-week-old son with her when she spoke early on in the debate, before she left the chamber to go and feed Gabriel, who then fell asleep on her in a baby carrier. By convention, Ms Swinson was expected to return to the chamber to listen to the closing speeches in the debate. The East Dunbartonshire MP said: The o...
